You have to change each default location from lets say \\Windows to \\Storage Card I believe. This would be in the initflashfiles.txt for file locations, plus you would have to tweak the reg entries if they make reference to file locations.

You misread the questions. He's talking about cabs.

You would have to edit the cab file itself to change the installation directory of each individual file to a hard-coded path (\Storage Card\Program Files\Your Program). You then would also need to edit and registry entries (the ones inside the cab) to match the new locations.

Well no I didnt misread the question but I answered it like I was doing an OEM....oops. Anyways I have had a PM with Cassy (not male) and she is considering using CE Cab Mgr to do this, which clearly would be the best way I think. The $100 price tag is a little steep though.

Great work, found a bug, when I oemizer FlashVideoBundle.CAB, it looks like it treat dword as decimal, should it be convert to hex
e.g. "132"=dword:1146569042
it should be "132"=dword:44574152

I'm still working on that one.

Hey, I'm pretty new to to this program and I'm still getting the feel for it, but why does everything end up in the windows folder even when i specify another folder?

[tiermann]

That's how OEM's work. All ROM files are placed in \Windows. ROM files cannot be moved, only copied by intiflashfiles.txt, so the original remains. That's why OEMs that have to copy too many files are pointless. They use up both ROM space and storage space.

[Maverick_TN]

hmm
is there any way to build a rom and have the files put in their respected folders and not have all the clutter in \windows\ ?

[tiermann]

Through a cab or manually copying them where you want them. You can't delete ROM files, only replace them.

I am now getting an error when I try to exit the OEMizer:

Couldnt access temp folders.
Access to the path '00000000.40' is denied.

Why is this happening?
